Minnesota Wild’s New Mascot Nordy
Tweet Posted by Mother Pucker on October 7th, 2008The Minnesota Tame, er… Wild, have decided to add a paid fan to their attendance. On Sunday the Wild announced that their newest addition is a mascot called Nordy, who strangely enough has his own player page on nhl.com. Ok it makes sense that they do a press release, and take the obligatory pictures with the local kids at hockey schools, but to give him his own player page? Come on… if any non-player deserves his own player page at nhl.com its Joey Moss.
“Holding true to his Nordic heritage, Nordy is rugged yet huggable and loves to visit with kids.” Rugged? Come on… Sonic the Hedgehog is more rugged than Nordy.
“He now resides at Xcel Energy Center and calls the Capital City home.” & “Fans will see Nordy at community appearances, hospital visits and kids activities, and occasionally at Wild home games.” Wait a minute! He lives there, but can only make an occasional appearance? Where is your dedication to the team that pays you to wear their colors and hug all of those hot hockey moms? Nevermind… I guess since he lives there, he will probably be doing his hugging in his private den.
They should save the public appearances for the players who need to chip away at their community service sentences.
Community service sentences? Are you making fun of the players that actually volunteer their time to go out into the community and try and make a difference?
No, I am referring to the ones with legal troubles.
Brad,
I don’t think that it would be right in any way to make fun of the players that give so much back to the community.
Jason,
Can you name a few for us?
That was supposed to be a joke.
oops, sigsegfalt = me.
